"Come on. Let go! Everyone is still waiting for me!" Quinn exclaimed."It's only a minor acquisition. Is it necessary for you to go there in person? Can't we just handle it over the phone?""It's not the same," Quinn stated firmly. She had been anticipating this day, the day she would finally bring down the Xandor family. She was eager to witness Shania's downfall with her own eyes."Alright, if you say so," Xavier said as he tightened his grip around her waist. He still would not let her go."I need to go now."Xavier hummed in response, yet he didn't budge at all.He then pushed his luck by saying, "Give me a kiss and I'll let you go.""Are you trying to make a deal with me?" Quinn asked incredulously. She wondered if there was anything worth negotiating between them."I'm only asking for a kiss," Xavier stated brazenly. How could this be viewed as making a deal? All he wanted was a kiss!Quinn leaned over and pecked his lips before deepening the kiss.Xavier believed that
If it weren't for Quinn, their family wouldn't have ended up like this. How could Shelly not hate her? But no matter how much Shelly hated her, facing the formidable Quinn left her feeling utterly helpless. Her mom had always been a tough character. If her mom couldn't handle Quinn, how could she possibly think she could? Baxter's gaze was filled with regret. Even though they lost Xandor Group today, he couldn't bring himself to blame Quinn. They were the ones who had made the mistakes. Throughout the negotiation, Quinn never once glanced at Simon. Luna dominated the conversation. When she spoke well, Quinn would encourage her with a glance. When she stumbled, Quinn would furrow her brows and offer a helpful addition. With Quinn there, Luna felt completely at ease. Xandor Group had practically no leverage. They were desperate to be acquired, except for Simon and Shelly. Yet, despite their reluctance, their opinions hardly mattered. "Simon, what do we do? Is t
Shelly shook her head. Simon really had no backbone at all. How could he still act this way when it was obvious Quinn no longer cared about him? Quinn stood up and left with the team from Four Seasons Incorporated. Simon stayed where he was and watched her leave. She didn't even acknowledge his existence anymore. When Shania heard that Xandor Group had been acquired by Four Seasons Incorporated, she couldn't handle the blow and fell ill. The police had to take her to the hospital first. Baxter, Shelly, and Simon rushed to the hospital together. Shania seemed to have aged ten years overnight. She lay on the hospital bed while refusing to say a word. "Shania, it's enough. You need to accept it. What's done is done." Baxter didn't want to see her like this either. At the end of the day, money was just material wealth. Shania gave a bitter laugh. "You'll never understand how much I sacrificed for Xandor Group." Baxter was an artist. He spent his days focused on p
And Four Seasons Incorporated's employees' salaries kept going up too. Who wouldn't want a boss like that? Luna was equally thrilled. Even though she knew the outcome from the start, actually securing the deal still felt amazing. "Ms. Lewitt, you really nailed it today," Ryan couldn't help but praise. "That's only because Ms. Jowell believed in me. Ms. Jowell, thank you for always giving me chances." In such a high-stakes situation, Ms. Jowell still trusted her. She really was a great boss. "Ms. Lewitt, you've got real talent. Keep it up, I believe in you. And Ryan, from now on, work closely with Ms. Lewitt. Learn from her, and I'm sure you'll both go far at Four Seasons Incorporated." "Of course, Ms. Jowell! I'll definitely give it my best." Ryan was great at what he did; he just needed more opportunities to prove himself. …Kimberly had been in the police station for three days before Simon finally came to bail her out. When she saw him, she felt even worse—s
By the time Simon arrived at the police station, Quinn had already received the news. Xavier was by her side."Do you want me to give the guys at the station a call?" he asked.Either way, there was no way they were going to accept a settlement."There's no need," Quinn replied indifferently.Xavier pulled her into his arms. "What are your plans? Do you want to go to Dudore or the borderlands next?"The situation in Jipsfort was more or less settled, after all."This man is always teasing me like this out of nowhere," thought Quinn as she was hugged by Xavier. It was a good thing she had high tolerance.How else would she be able to resist him?She didn't answer his question though. He was not a part of her future plans.Seeing that she wasn't going to speak, Xavier nibbled on her lip."Quinn, are you tired of me?"Had she decided to cast him aside?Quinn tilted his chin up, exuding dominance. She blew on Xavier's Adam's apple."Didn't we agree not to speak of tomorrow? Ar
Xavier hung up the moment he finished speaking. He dialed his mother's number instead.At the moment, Lydia Stenson was lying in her hospital bed. She wasn't actually seriously ill. Her blood pressure was simply a little high.Upon receiving a call from Xavier, Lydia couldn't help but complain, "Xavier, do you even remember that you have a mother? I thought you'd already forgotten me!"She was incredibly dissatisfied that he hadn't visited her the last time he was in Dudore."How's your health, Mom?" Xavier asked in concern.Lydia assured him that she was well and that he didn't need to worry."Xav, you're not young anymore." Lydia abruptly changed the topic. "It's about time you get yourself a girlfriend. Do you have your eyes on any ladies?"At the question, Xavier cast a glance toward the young lady next to him. She was playing on her phone.She looked completely uninterested in who he was on the phone with.Lydia had been extremely proactive about introducing eligible youn
Passion ignited between them once more. Neither of them was the type to dance around each other, and Quinn had already discovered the fun in the act.Another round of lovemaking ensued. It lasted until the both of them were tired of it and decided to go to sleep.After the acquisition of Xandor Group was complete, the next steps were handled incredibly fast. Xandor Group changed their name to Four Seasons Incorporated.Four Seasons Incorporated's business thus expanded one step further.Within three months, Quinn had done as she initially declared. She had taken control of both Four Seasons Incorporated and Xandor Group.Samuel had been taken back to Dudore by his father. There was a project in Dudore that required their attention.Their trip took more than two weeks.The moment he returned, he immediately went looking for Quinn.At the moment, he was in the reception hall of Four Seasons Incorporated. He didn't give Quinn a call and instead simply waited.A few hours passed i
Upon finding out that Quinn was dining here, Nadia indicated that she would come over to meet her and go shopping together.No sooner had Samuel left than Nadia showed up. It was sweltering outside, and she was busy fanning herself, saying, "You won't believe the dressing-down I got from my father this morning, Quinny. "I was all set to tell them about my plans to pursue opportunities in Dudore, but after his scolding, I didn't dare to say a word.""It's fine if you can't go. You can still thrive in Jipsfort," Quinn said, assuring her that she wouldn't pressure her into going to Dudore."How can I not go? Jipsfort just doesn't have the same fashion opportunities as Dudore. I'm not sure how to break the news to my parents since I don't want to upset them."After saying that, they both perused the stores in the mall.It was Quinn's birthday soon, but Nadia still hadn't found the perfect gift for her.Quinn, on the other hand, wasn't really shopping for anything.Along the way, N
